The Battle of Avenal, characterised as a raid by Weyoun, was a military engagement that took place in the year 2375 during the final days of the Dominion War. It was part of a series of futile attacks by the Klingon Empire against the Dominion. These attacks were ordered by ChancellorGowron in order to humiliate GeneralMartok, whom the Chancellor had come to see as a political threat. During the battle, Martok was hopelessly outnumbered six-to-one and was predictably broken up, resulting in defeat. The Klingons lost seven ships, while five others were badly damaged. General Martok himself was severely injured in the attack. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")
